It’s another day and another
person left jobless because of their Facebook profile. A flight
attendant for Cathay Pacific, an Asian airline based in Hong Kong, has
lost her job after posting hostile comments about Thai Prime Minister
Thaksin Shinawatra’s daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra. In addition to
stating she wanted to throw coffee in the woman’s face, she also posted a
picture of her seating number on the flight.
Paetongtarn Shinawatra was on a Bangkok-to-Hong Kong flight on Nov.
25 when the incident occurred. The flight attendant caused a stir within
the Thai online communities, which lead Cathay Pacific to take to its
Facebook page to clear the air (pun intended). The company stated that
the posting of a passenger’s personal information was unauthorized and
against the airline’s privacy rules and concluded by stating the flight
attendant is “no longer on an employee.” Here’s the controversial post that the flight attendant wrote on her Facebook page: ”Paetongtarn,
I didn’t throw coffee in her face today but she had no clue that I will
keep on fighting until your clan can no longer live like fleas on the
Thai soil.“
In an additional post, the flight attendant said she called her personal adviser to ask “if it was all right to throw something on (Paetongtarn) on this flight.” On Monday, she said she resigned to take responsibility for her actions.
